Lite Coms' LITE SAT 1.3A Terminal Gets Viasat GX Type Approval

Lite Coms, renowned for its cutting-edge satellite communication technology, has announced the official Viasat Global Xpress (GX) Type Approval for its LITE SAT 1.3A terminal. This crucial certification (Number GXL130LCO-01) affirms the terminal's capabilities within the Viasat GX Satellite Communications System, ensuring high-speed and reliable connectivity suitable for mission-critical applications.

Overview of LITE SAT 1.3A

The LITE SAT 1.3A is a 1.3-meter satellite terminal designed for optimal performance across various applications. It has also earned WGS certification for X and Ka bands, demonstrating its adaptability and robustness in demanding environments.

Performance Beyond Expectations

In addition to adhering to Viasat GX certification standards, Lite Coms is enhancing the performance benchmarks for small-aperture terminals. With the inclusion of the High-Capacity Kit, the LITE SAT 1.3A terminal can deliver remarkable data rates of up to 300Mbps on Viasat's High-Capacity Ka-band network. This feature empowers field teams to utilize bandwidth-heavy applications such as high-definition ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance) video feeds and intricate cloud-based command and control systems without needing larger, more cumbersome satellite hubs.

Multi-Orbit Capabilities PACE Strategy

Designed to meet the complex demands of multi-orbit missions, the LITE SAT 1.3A terminal is positioned to support both O3b mPOWER (MEO) and Viasat global Ka-band (GEO) constellations, following the acquisition of its GX Type Approval. This dual-orbit functionality enables users to maintain a robust Primary, Alternate, Contingency, and Emergency (PACE) strategy using a single, transportable hardware platform of 1.3 meters.

Technical Performance and Interference Management

Validation testing for the LITE SAT 1.3A terminal confirmed strict compliance with international interference standards. A significant highlight of this terminal is its high spectral purity, which adheres to ETSI 4.2.1 specifications regarding off-axis spurious emissions. By effectively minimizing spectral noise and ensuring clean carrier transitions, Lite Coms provides users with a reliable terminal that operates seamlessly in dense RF environments, minimizing the potential for interference with adjacent satellite users.

Leadership Insights

Bob Jacobson, President and CEO of Lite Coms, emphasized the significance of securing GX Type Approval, stating, "Achieving GX Type Approval for the LITE SAT 1.3A, along with our 300Mbps High-Capacity capability, showcases our dedication to technical excellence. At Lite Coms, we prioritize your mission. If we can enable effortless orbit transitions and deliver unparalleled throughput, we are fulfilling the mission-critical connectivity our clients require."
